Student Spotlight: Lenita Bryson’s Journey at Chowan – From Softball to Service and Leadership

Mar 2, 2025 by Catherine Vickers

Lenita has found her stride at 鶹Ƶ, and it’s not just on the softball field. She fell in love with the university’s small, close-knit campus and the meaningful relationships she’s building along the way. But what brought her to Chowan in the first place? She followed Coach Bailey, and it’s a decision she’s never regretted. “I knew Coach Bailey when he was a coach at Barton College. I had gone to multiple camps there with one of my travel teams! I always liked his coaching style so when he moved to Chowan, I decided to come to a camp in hopes to play for him!”

Now a sophomore majoring in Criminal Justice, Lenita has her sights set on a future as a lawyer. Her parents believe she’s cut out for the role—after all, they’ve seen firsthand how passionate she can be when making a case. One of her favorite classes so far has been Criminal Evidence, taught by Dr. Pamela Woodard, Chair of the Criminal Justice department, and Dr. Mary Mitchell, a Psychology instructor.

Off the field, Lenita is also leaving her mark. She’s proud of her efforts to bring the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) to Chowan’s campus. FCA is an international organization that empowers athletes and coaches to share their faith, with over 50,000 members actively involved worldwide.

Lenita’s story is a testament to the power of following your passion—and making a difference wherever you land.
